Sammi Kinghorn won her first Paralympic gold medal in sensational fashion, winning the T53 100 metre in Paris.

BBC Sport say the 28-year-old Briton came home in a Paralympic record 15.64 seconds at Stade de France, edging out Catherine Debrunner.

They say it comes after Kinghorn took two silvers over 800m and 1500m earlier in the Games, losing out to Swiss Debrunner on both occasions.

They add that she now has five Paralympic medals, having won a bronze and silver medal in Tokyo three years ago.

Looking at the medal tally, China is leading with 59 gold, 42 silver and 27 bronze, Great Britain is in second place with 33 gold, 25 silver and 16 bronze, while the United States is in third with 25 gold, 24 silver and 11 bronze.
